So, from all I have read, it seems like the 512MB white and pink S10s being sold at CompUSA (and the Lenovo web site) do not have built-in bluetooth.

Is the same true for the 1GB/160GB black one sold by CircuitCity?

Well.... Mini USB adapter in USB port is cheapest and most convenient. If you get one, make sure that it supports all the profiles that you need.

If you are hell-bent on an internal solution, check out the Bluetooth discussion in the Hardware section of the Hardware section of S10lenovo.com.

If you can bear to part with a USB port this seems like a good option that is very small: http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.ph ... ept_id=015

Although hopefully someone comes up with good options for internal additions of bluetooth.

It boggles me that nobody has made a bluetooth adaptor in the form of an expresscard 34 card. O_o It's the only thing I can think of that would be useful to me in expresscard 34 form.
